your average shitlib journo
is smarter than most people
smart people have the most danger from becoming ideologically unmoored
normies can just persist
if they dont receive the wrong signals from top down
they will keep things going
the answers of tradition (small t) and common sense may not be immediately rational, nor efficient
but the weight of history is behind them, they work
and they will keep working, even with problems
Smart people are much more at risk of going completely off the rails.
I think normies would turn on a dime, if you change the top down signals
oftentimes they do
like in the past
when a people were conquered
which is to be expected living in such an irrational world
they took on the faith of the conquered mostly willingly
Also, people of my group/ethnicity/race who are average in IQ are still "ours."
it's the marginally above average people who are the most insufferable
meritocracy has proved to have little merit for the goal of preserving civilization.
we're not in a meritocracy though
we're in the throes of credentialism
false experience gateways
with a focus on certification so that an industry of knowledge inspectors can exist
then again i acknowledge my perspective is informed by living in Australia and seeing TAFE employ so many people whose skills would be much better suited to a factory
no that's true enough
we live in a bureaucracy that reward conscientiousness over true merit
but nevertheless, in the end
they have trade certificates for both retail management and just straight up counterhard shit
our system reduces to pretty much an IQocracy
the hell it does
yes absolutely @Jake Saga your blood is your blood
so now you would have to go do a 12 week / 6 mo / 1 yr /whatever course to make yourself more likely to be hired in like
a pet store
fast food
or something
yeah
consider the past in comparison
it doesn't matter how smart you are
nah fast food is the only industry that doesn't care about experience
